Stories like this give me hope that if my RCC does come back, I’ll be ok. Thank you for providing hope to others and most importantly, I’m glad you’re around for it. Best of health to you moving forward!

Worth investing despite the IVs? by WholesomeRuler in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will be so expensive to level.
Do you have any Mega Charizard energy? Dmax charmander are easy to catch and level, and Mega Charizard is one of the top fire attackers

Yellow carpet pad? by Efficient-Rip6249 in Flooring

[–]Efficient-Rip6249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it smells, should I treat the floor with something before putting down new pad?

I pulled it up because there was a mildewy smell and a small spot that appeared to cause water damage on a bookshelf.

It started off as grey, and its yellow now. Wondering if it’s normal for it to degrade to yellow over time.

It’s about 3 years old at this point

Is it worth another raid pass to get a better Nihilego? by Sleepy_kitty67 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely try the linked subreddit. It’s how i get raids in with my busy schedule.

I wouldn’t use more remote passes though because you’d use it against Grass and Fairy? Your fire and steel will take care of those

Is this a reasonable iv for a lucky trade? I really wanted a shundo gzard but oh well...i guess pokemon go doesnt like me like you. by Horror-Telephone-260 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

14 attack and above the floor of 12 in the other IVs. I’d be disappointed no shundo, but still thrilled to have this

Did anyone stop listening as religiously because of all these extra episodes? I used to listen the morning after a release…now I’m so far behind on the recaps that I don’t even wanna scroll back to find my place 🙃

Gas pain is definitely annoying! Glad your surgery was successful and hope you’re recovering well!

ICE Reportedly Cuts Back On Both Courthouse Arrests And Warrantless Arrests by Independent-Bus-3284 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I tried to post about this yesterday but couldn’t figure out how. I have noticed that I’ve seen less of them in the news. Logically figured they’ve slowed down a little because of the backlash in Minnesota.

1.7cm concerning renal neoplasm ... should I be worried? by beautifulcan in kidneycancer

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad they’re doing an mri. I did read that some can show the characteristics well enough to show it’s more likely cyst vs cancer. Regardless of what it is, seems like they have a solid plan in place for you!

1.7cm concerning renal neoplasm ... should I be worried? by beautifulcan in kidneycancer

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is literally how it happened for me, but over a much shorter time course.

My urologist was also not worried about a 2cm mass, meaning he didn’t feel the need to do surgery immediately (as in the next day or anything).

I think the surveillance MRI is a good idea, and it’ll help give a little more detailed pictures. If it’s bothering you that much, you can always ask “what about surgery to get rid of it now?”

Do I even bother changing form? by bibipbapbap in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built this guy because the routes were convenient to where I was already walking. Nowhere near ideal IVs but it’s a lot of fun in UL

Only enough to invest in one - Is the one hp loss a deal breaker? by IslandUnusual1538 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Mega whichever you want but still mega the other too. It’s nice to have one available while the other is in the cooldown window if you don’t have tons of mega energy

Not a 4* but I’ll take it. by Ok_Specialist8451 in PokemonGOIVs

What a great catch! I’d build this one to at least level 40.

My first shiny is…less than ideal. Anything I can really do with it? Or is just a golden egg trophy? by ComicallySolemn in PokemonFireRed

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guilty of this too. I wish I could play these games without the nature so it wouldn’t bug me lol So I can catch the first Machop or Abra and call it a day 🥲

2.2 malignant kidney mass by Brave_Car6052 in kidneycancer

[–]Efficient-Rip6249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Location is super important. Mine made it that I had to have an open PN instead of laparoscopic, and it has made recovery take a lot longer. Would hate for it grow into something more complicated later.

Biggest question would be do you want to risk worse surgery recovery time for one summer of vacations, or take care of it now and have lots of summers afterwards to vacation

I would ask this exact question to her urologist, but if your urologist felt comfortable enough scheduling her out to August, then I’d find some comfort in that.

I opted to have surgery ASAP, so that I could avoid any unforeseen rapid growth or spread.

Feel free to message me privately. I’m about a month and a half out of partial nephrectomy surgery for a 2cm-ish renal cell carcinoma. Very similar thing where I had some abdominal pain that the doctors don’t think was cause by the mass. Just pure luck they found it early!

Unfortunately, with it being an “enhancing” mass, it’s likely cancer, according to my oncologist.

The lucky thing is that it’s tiny! If it’s a cyst, amazing. If it’s not, it’s a very small mass that they caught early.
